Bar charts can now be turned into
waterfall charts
!Waterfall charts excel at showing a running total. They're useful for understanding how an initial value is affected by a series of positive and negative values.
Turn a bar chart into a waterfall chart by the new "Waterfall Bars" toggle in the Chart Options panel of the left sidebar.
To show
negative values as a different color
, toggle on "Negative Number Color" on the Size & Style panel on the left sidebar. \new

More importing improvements!
Users can now mark if each sheet in their upload has the header as the first row. The header is used to create column names in the uploaded sheet. If the header is not the first row of data, generic column names will be used (A, B, C).
When importing a spreadsheet file that has multiple worksheets, users can now specify which workbooks to include in the import. Previously all worksheets were imported by default.

Responsive Embeds
Embedded charts and datatables are now responsive - they will autosize to fit the width they are given.
To use the new responsive embed tag, you must copy it and its script tag from the Share Dialog.
You can also change the background color of the embedded charts by changing the background color of the embed iframe.
There is now an easier way to edit chart titles - by clicking on the text itself. The kinds of text that is editable this way:
- Title
- Subtitle
- Axis Title
- Legend Title
Should make it a bit easier to change the chart text!
Users can now select custom colors for items appearing in legends - this will also color the corresponding chart piece. This new feature applies to charts with legends such as a
stacked bar chart
, multi line chart
, pie chart
, etc.Read more here: Customizing Colors
The data tables now support clickable html links.
If the full text of a cell is a valid url (Ex: https://instacharts.io), it will show as a clickable link. Links will open in a new tab.
